Anna Essinger was asked to fly a swastika above her progressive, liberal arts school in Nazi Germany. Instead, sensing the increasing danger of Hitler's hate-fueled rise, the courageous principal made a bold plan to smuggle her school to safety in England. In groups, students and teachers successfully made it to the house Anna rented in Kent, which would become the Bunce Court school and welcome refugees and displaced children, many of whom faced devastating horrors before their arrival. The School That Escaped the Nazis is an inspiring, heart-wrenching true story illuminating the heroic woman who risked everything to save her school, and the brave children who should have never been in such a position.
